True, the Spartan trainees were unarmored and still getting used to their augmentations. But still, that's a pretty good showing for the Marines, considering that said trainees were all actually seasoned veterans. Bonus points for the Marine who manages to both dodge one of Scrugg's punches and knock him out with one swing of his rifle.

Humanity's war against the Covenant has just ended, but its troubles are far from over, as Covenant remnants and human Insurrectionists alike seek to destroy the UNSC. In response, Spartan-II washout Musa-096 decides to create a new generation of {{Super Soldier}}s, the Spartan-[=IVs=], with Edward Davis and former ODST Sarah Palmer among the elite few selected for the program's first class.
However, the UNSC isn't the only group trying to upgrade its forces; an Insurrectionist group known as the New Colonial Alliance have discovered the existence of the UNSC's new flagship ''Infinity'', and plan to steal it for themselves, with Palmer and a few other rookie Spartan-[=IVs=] the only people standing in their way.

But still, that's a pretty good showing for the Marines, considering that said trainees were all actually seasoned veterans.

* BatmanCanBreathInSpace: [[spoiler:Ilsa Zane]] survives getting spaced long enough to be rescued by a Prowler.
* BodyCountCompetition: A variant between Palmer and Davis when they bet on whether Palmer can defeat her target before Davis can take down the other Insurrectionists in the room. [[spoiler:Davis wins.]]
* TheBusCameBack: After being MIA for almost three years of real-world time, [[VideoGame/HaloReach Jun-A266]] finally makes his return, having become a recruiter and trainer for the SPARTAN-IV program.
* CrazyEnoughToWork: Palmer grenade-flipping an overturned Warthog while running ''towards'' a Brute Chieftain. In fact, it's implied to be kind of a personal motto for her.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** While still an ODST, Sarah Palmer takes on a Brute Chieftain single-handedly and also grenade-flips a Warthog.
** Musa-096's disdain for both Dr. Halsey and the UNSC brass in general is evident right from the start, as is his admiration for the accomplishments of his Spartan brethren.
* ForegoneConclusion: Given that the ''Infinity'' shows up as an allied ship in ''VideoGame/{{Halo 4}}'', we already know the Insurrectionists are not going to succeed in taking it.

* JanitorImpersonationInfiltration: The Insurrectionists manage to get aboard the ''Infinity'' by disguising themselves as part of the construction crew.
* LeeroyJenkins: During a training exercise, Palmer rushes ahead of the rest of her team in order to reach the objective; she succeeds in doing so, but Jun and Musa chew her out for letting the enemy take out all her teammates.
